Description

As you enter through the side door, you'll find ample space in the porch, perfect for walking equipment, secure bike storage and muddy boots after a day on the fells. The porch also houses a washing machine for guest convenience.

The spacious kitchen-diner provides a sociable space for family while you prepare and cook your meals, and boasts stunning views from the large picture window overlooking the garden and fells beyond. The well-equipped kitchen comes complete with electric fan oven, gas hob, dishwasher, fridge, freezer, microwave, table and four chairs.

The lounge is a bright space with comfortable three-piece suite and Smart TV, where you can settle in for the evening with your friends and family to relax after a day of exploring the Lake District. Here, there is another large picture window with fabulous views over to mighty Skiddaw.

Upstairs, there are two bedrooms; the large master bedroom has a king-size bed, dressing table, wardrobe and two bedside tables, and the twin bedroom has two single beds, wardrobe, and table. Both bedrooms will be dressed in luxury crisp white bed linen and towels.

The newly-refurbished spacious family bathroom is also on this floor and has a stand alone bath, separate electric shower, toilet and hand wash basin.

The property has gas central heating and is double glazed throughout.

There is a small garden to the front with shrubs, and a large garden to the rear with a raised seating area.

Private parking is available to the front of the house.

Portinscale is a beautiful, bustling village, looking out across the shimmering waters of Derwentwater.

From Portinscale, you can explore the surrounding fells and woodlands. For novice ramblers, Catbells is a great starter fell, and offers stunning views of Derwentwater & Keswick.

If you’re looking to venture out into the Lake District without a car, Portinscale is serviced by the X4 and X5 bus services, running all the way from Workington to Penrith, linking Portinscale to local train stations.

September stay at Roslin
Roslin was a perfect house for our stay. The lounge was comfortable, the kitchen had all facilities we needed and the views from the house were stunning. The location was ideal for trips into Keswick and also to explore other areas of the Lake District. Two very small issues were sorted very quickly by the team at Keswick Cottages and special thanks to Sarah who came out immediately with her husband on Saturday evening to sort a minor issue with the boiler. We definitely plan to return!

Thank you, Jill, for your wonderful review of Roslin. We’re delighted to hear that the house was the perfect base for your stay and that you enjoyed the comfortable lounge, well-equipped kitchen and, of course, the stunning views. It’s great to know the location worked so well for both visits into Keswick and exploring the wider Lake District. We really appreciate you highlighting the support you received from our team, and we’ll be sure to pass your kind comments on to Sarah. If guests ever encounter any issues during their stay, we’ll always do our very best to help as quickly as possible. Feedback like yours is incredibly valuable to us and helps future guests choose the right property for their holiday. We’d be thrilled to welcome you back to Roslin in the future. On your next visit, a trip to Ashness Bridge and Surprise View is highly recommended, with some of the most spectacular scenery in the area. Best wishes, Keswick Cottages.

Really enjoyed our stay. This is the 2nd time we have stayed at Roslin, and the views are priceless. I'm pleased to say that my constructive feedback from my last stay was taken on-board, with the garden being tidier and new outdoor furniture. So overall a really enjoyable stay, only criticism is that one of the beds in the small bedroom had stained sheets (although still clean)

Great accommodation in a lovely little village with fantastic views. Everything you could need to make this a home from home and only a 20 minute walk into Keswick.

Hi there! Thank you so much for your lovely review. We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed the accommodation and its setting in such a charming village, with those fantastic views adding to your stay. It’s great to know you found everything you needed for a real home?from?home experience, and that the easy 20?minute walk into Keswick worked well for you too — the best of both worlds. We’d be absolutely delighted to welcome you back again in the future. Best wishes, Keswick Cottages

Nice place tucked away in nature yet close to the main road.
Incredible locations and views!
A second visit to Roslin. Its location was ideal for us. Set in Portinscale in a quiet cul de sac with amazing views towards Skiddaw. Parking directly outside. A small front garden and a large rear garden. A side porch for storing boots or bikes which also houses a washing machine. The house was spotlessly clean and freshly painted. The house has central heating and a large kitchen diner fully equipped. The lounge is comfortable. The master bedroom is massive and the second bedroom had 2 single beds. Bathroom with bath and separate shower. Walks from the house into Keswick takes 20 minutes or 5 minutes in the car. If your looking for clean comfortable accommodation in a peaceful location with amazing views then Roslin is the place to go.
